Copps unloads on broadcasters, no-show journalists
In opening remarks at Tuesday's FCC hearing on media ownership, FCC commissioner Michael Copps complained about a lack of attendance at the event by the press, of consolidation in media and the quality of broadcast programming, and suggested that perhaps broadcasters should give up their spectrum allotments to make room for national wireless broadband. Copps said, "Maybe those who want the spectrum back have the better of the argument after all."
